Chapter 105 Surprised by the Tarth Predator Civilization

A dreadnought flagship with an extremely large size, a slightly bloated flagship-class aircraft carrier that is even larger than the dreadnought flagship, more than [-] battleships, and more than [-] large and small battleships.

The pitch-black hull, rough design style, and the LOGs of the fleet all prove that this huge fleet is not a wild monster or anomaly, but a wandering force in the wild.

And the main reason why Li Qing was in trouble was that the mechanical ascension body didn't know what method it used to get mixed into this fleet.

"Fucking!"

Rubbing his forehead, Li Qing felt a dull pain in his head.

This can't beat it.

Two flagships, how to fight?
The key point is that this is not a wild monster but a wandering force in the wild. Although it is not clear what level the technology level is, judging from the many wandering forces in the wild that humans have encountered over the past tens of thousands of years, the probability of level five is quite high.

Dare to wander in the dangerous starry sky, not strong enough.

The fleet did not dare to approach, but only dared to observe from a distance. He watched the fleet slowly glide through the distant starry sky without any movement.

Sitting quietly on the command chair and waiting for almost an hour, Li Qing suddenly sat up straight and ordered:

"Return to the previous galaxy."

Li Yuan didn't ask why, and immediately ordered the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that had been withdrawn by the fleet to return and prepare to return.

As many unmanned reconnaissance planes withdrew, there were several unmanned reconnaissance planes in one direction that did not respond and the contact was interrupted. After waiting for a while, Li Qingzheng was about to ignore it and return as planned, but suddenly one of them had already lost contact. The unmanned reconnaissance drone suddenly returned, and then a strange communication came.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, carefully inspected the unmanned reconnaissance drone with a little vigilance, and made sure that there was no tampering inside. He was silent for almost a minute before deciding to connect to the communication, and then a tall man sitting in a black hall The alien figure appeared in front of him.

The alien figure was extremely tall, about four meters tall. The body was somewhat human-like, but instead of human legs underneath, it stood on four legs. The whole body was covered with a thick black cuticle, and there were many incomprehensible lines on the surface. There are two pairs of arms, one pair is as soft as octopus tentacles, and the other pair is thick and powerful. There is a circle of barbs on the back of the head, and a strange and ferocious head in the middle of the body.

The head resembles a dragon's head covered with cuticles, but it has no horns and no hair on the head, only a layer of spikes.

A pair of vertical pupils stared closely at Li Qing, and the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft turned over and translated the language:

"I'm glad to see the human pioneers here. I am the commander of the fifth vanguard fleet of the Tas civilization. On the order of the supreme King of Tas, I went to the southern sector of the Zutar star field for reconnaissance."

"King of Tarth???"

Li Qing immediately remembered a famous wandering and plundering civilization that the teacher in the noble class had said before. It was called the Tarth Wanderer, also known as the Tarth Raiding Civilization. Neutral wandering faction south of the spiral arm.

It was a powerful alien civilization named Tas. I heard that the home planet of this civilization was plundered and destroyed by other civilizations when it just left its own galaxy. The remaining Tas people became wandering civilizations.

They formed a wandering fleet, continued to plunder and grow stronger while wandering, and constantly absorbed other alien life forms. Up to now, they have become a powerful wandering civilization that is not inferior to the Star Sea Lord.

This civilization has no fixed borders, and wanders back and forth in the Perseus spiral arm. It maintains neutrality or friendship with powerful civilizations such as the United Empire of Mankind or the Bruwan United, but it specifically plunders and plunders some weak civilizations, or accepts certain civilizations. Or the employment of forces is well-known in human civilization.

The main body of this civilization is Tasman, but it does not exclude the addition of any alien species, and there are even many human wanderers joining it.

And this fleet with two flagships and a total size of up to [-] is just a vanguard reconnaissance fleet of the Tas Wanderers. There are dozens of such fleets in the Tas Civilization.

When you see the reconnaissance fleet of the Tarth Wanderers, it means that its main fleet is not too far away from here.

Li Qing was alert immediately, but on the surface he still politely saluted, and said in a deep voice:

"It's an honor to meet the glorious Tas. As you said, I am a pioneer, commissioned by the United Empire of Mankind Expeditionary Force to perform reconnaissance missions in this star field."

"Expedition?"

Natas was slightly confused and asked:

"The United Empire of Mankind is ready to develop the Zutar star field?"

"Yes."

The person on the other side was silent for a while and then said:
"The great King of Tarth was hired by a civilization in the nearby star field to deal with an invader."

Li Qing was surprised, and a bad idea appeared in his mind:

"Dear Tas, I don't know which civilization it is, who is the so-called invader?"

"Sorry, we cannot reveal the customer's name."

The Natas were silent for a while, and added:
"But judging from the customer's introduction to the intruder, it shouldn't be you who were dealt with."

not us?

Li Qing's mind turned quickly. Apart from the Human Expeditionary Force, there are only three alien civilizations nearby, namely the Shata Tribal Union, the Shar Civilization, and a civilization called the Xivis Council.

Now it has been determined that it is not targeting humans, and the possibility of Shar civilization is unlikely. The species evolved from this plant itself advocates peace, and its strength is at the bottom of the three major civilizations. Whether it is the Shatta Tribe Alliance or the Sivis Council, it is better than Shar Civilization is stronger, and it is impossible to hire predators for unnecessary reasons.

Then only the Sivis Council and the Shata Tribe united these two civilizations to do so.

Analyzing one by one, among the three major civilizations, the Shata tribe is the most powerful. At this stage, they are not only at war with human civilization, but also with the Shar civilization and the Xivis Council, and Li Qing obtained information from the expeditionary force. Look, in their three-sided battle, there are still two that have the upper hand.

Excluding the Shar civilization, the only possible employer with a high probability is the Sivis Council.

Of course, this is his most likely guess, and he is not sure yet, but it is indeed the most likely.

if so.
Li Qing pinched his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

The strength of the Tasman predator civilization is simply not something that this third-level civilization can compete with. Their participation in the war can immediately break the regional balance, and it is not known whether it will affect the strategic plan of the expeditionary force.

"I wonder when the respected Tarth Wanderers will launch an attack on the invaders? I wonder how big the scale of the hire will be?"

The Tasman on the opposite side pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said:

"According to regulations, I cannot reveal customers' secrets unless you can pay me 1000 million cubic meters of minerals."

Li Qing nodded immediately:

"I can pay."

A transport fleet sailed to the huge fleet in the distance, and after a while, the Starman in the communication said briskly:
"Very good, the mine you provided is very pure, I like it very much."

"We are heading to the destination according to the coordinates provided by our employer. According to the coordinate distance and our speed, we will arrive at the predetermined location in two to three years, and five vanguard fleets will jointly attack the target."

"Two to three years!"

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Two to three years ago, the expeditionary force had already launched a full-scale attack on the southern provinces of the Shata Civilization. If they acted quickly, they could capture the reef nest before the plundering fleet arrived.

And at that time, the Tath plundering fleet just arrived, which happened to increase the pressure on the Shata tribal alliance, making them more scruples, and thus giving the Galan Army more time and preparations.

Chatted with the leader of the Tass plundering vanguard fleet for a while, before leaving, he left a communication method for Li Qing, and opened the reputation of Tass plunderers, initially neutral.

With this communication, he can use the high-purity metal just now to find this Tasman named Tars Anel to improve his reputation, buy news, or hire them directly.

However, with neutral reputation at this stage, you can only hire a small fleet. If you want to hire this large fleet with two flagships, you must at least be respected.

There are only three ways to earn reputation, one is to help them in some aspects, the other is to receive some tasks issued by them, and the third is to send money and resources, directly hard krypton.

There are many uncertainties in the way to obtain the reputation of the Tas raiding fleet. It is not reliable to simply earn reputation, and it is not convenient for them to wander around, so most of the way to increase reputation is krypton.

Increasing the reputation of the camp not only increases the upper limit of the mercenary fleet, but also ensures that it will not be robbed by the Tas people. Generally, the Tas wandering fleet will not accept plundering missions targeting high-prestige customers.

Li Qing considered that the Tas fleet would join the battlefield three years later, so as to avoid accidents, he decided to make a wave first.

In the name of the Jialan Legion, he sent a whole 390 million cubic meters of refined metal, worth [-] billion stars. This is what he had accumulated before, and his reputation changed from neutral to friendly. After that, everyone in the Jialan Army saw the Tas Wanderer Both are starting friendly reputation.

This is just the beginning, there are not many metals in the mine now, and there will be another wave in two or three years. At least they have to be respected to ensure that they will not be hired by other teams to attack.

Even if it develops in the future and supplies are sufficient, it can continue to krypton.

Anyway, a powerful force comparable to the Star Sea Lord's reputation still has the value of krypton. If it can reach the highest reputation, it can directly hire a super fleet comparable to the Star Sea Lord to serve you.

Although the employment conditions and demand will definitely be ridiculously high, but at that time, no matter how outrageous the demand is, it will not be a problem.

Li Qingwen didn't even ask about the mechanical ascension battle body. He left this galaxy and stopped in the next galaxy.

No matter how the mechanical ascension combat body blended into them, he could not directly ask for help from Tas Anel. The Tas people themselves welcomed any wandering civilized race to join, even the mechanical ascensioners were not excluded.

A frontal impact is even more impossible, unbeatable.

Then you can only use other methods, that is. Wait!
Unless the mechanical ascension body stays in the Tas Wandering Fleet all the time, there will always be time to leave. Anyway, there is a token that can keep track of his movements at any time, so he is not afraid of running away suddenly.

The fleet came to the outer circle of the galaxy, where there was an asteroid belt. While there was nothing else going on, he opened the universe in his palm, collected meteorites from the asteroid belt into the universe in his palm, and put them directly into the casting furnace of light for refining.

The vast majority of meteorites have ores, but the problem is that there are too many ores and few ores, the problem of the purity, and the value of the ore contained in it. The value of the ore in many meteorites is too low, and no one likes to dig.

For Li Qing, there is no question of value and content. Anyway, there is no problem of refining cost in the Light Casting Furnace. When he sees meteorites, he stuffs them into the lava and extracts the valuable ones. The worthless ones are directly smelted and converted into matter. Exchange raw materials to convert some high-value minerals.

As the fleet slid through the asteroid meteorite belt, behind it was a huge hollow channel, and all the meteorites on the way were collected and refined.

It's that direct, it's that brutal.

In one day, refining and transforming high-purity refined iron and steel metal is nearly 1300 million cubic meters. Sometimes with good luck, nearby meteorites have high ore content, and more than 2000 million cubic meters can be converted in one day, and the most high-purity steel is 5400 million cubic meters.

The price of steel is 390 star yuan per square meter. Taking the average daily output of 1800 million square meters, the revenue is 70 billion+ per day. With 30 days in a month, the combined income can be as high as 2100 billion star yuan.

12 months a year, that's 25000 trillion in revenue.

"It's really profitable!"

But in fact, the income should be far more than this. If he really wants to make money from this, he can go to some meteorite belts with higher mineral content to collect, and adding [-]% to his income should not be a problem.

"can."

Anyway, Li Qing squatted in the asteroid belt every day, constantly opening the door of the black hole in the palm of his hand to collect meteorites.

Since the last time the universe in the palm of your hand has been repaired, the black hole gate has a certain gravity. Forcibly catching the ship will not work, but the unconscious meteorites can still be easily captured. There is no need to send out a large number of industrial ships to use tractor beams to collect the meteorites as before.

Time passed unconsciously, and a month passed quickly.

During this period, he spent most of his time outside, checking the tokens while mining.

That guy didn't move, he kept moving with the Tas Wandering Fleet, and he didn't intend to go out at all, which made him wonder if this guy wanted to make a home in this plundering fleet.

He continued to wait patiently. Anyway, there is nothing serious at this stage. There is still a year and a half before the military operation of the expeditionary force. The army headquarters has Yu Yuefei and the others to deal with it. Take a look at the shipbuilding experience and communicate with many scientists.

Unknowingly, half a month passed, and Li Qing, who was mining as usual that day, suddenly received a message from Chu Hanqiu, the chief engineer in the palm universe——

"Fortunately, the mother chip of the frigate has been successfully redesigned."

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, suddenly overjoyed, immediately put down his work, dived into the universe in his palm, and appeared directly in the engineering area of ​​the scientific research layer.

Several servants of light had been waiting for a long time. Li Qing took the chip emitting a faint golden light, patted their shoulders vigorously and praised:
"Thank you for your hard work, you have done a very good job."

"Everyone can take a good rest for a month, and start the next step of design after one month."

Many servants of light showed smiles on their faces, Chu Hanqiu said:
"It is our honor to share your worries!"

He nodded and didn't say any more. For the Servant of Light, the recognition of the Son of the Star is the best reward, no other rewards are needed, and no other rewards are needed.
